I think you are confusing there being no point where you have 'no existence of your consciousness' with some of the ideas about the universe I've read you posting.
The universe contains all points of time (so we can't say what happened one second before T). The analogy (I think) you are positing is that there can be existence only after you awareness 'woke up' and it will end when your awareness 'shuts down' on point of death.
There has never been a time nor will there ever be a time when my awareness does not exist.
As far as you are concerned. Consider the person with profound autism: he/she lives in a world so self centric that the idea of anything 'extra-self' having an independent existence is inconceivable.
By the pre-operational phase we become less ego centric in our perceptions of reality and can appreciate that reality exist outside of our existence. But it it is not till we get past the intuitive phases that existence become 'non-magical' and relating to concrete 'laws' of how the world works: that is to say we understand that our mums were alive when we were but a glint in the milkman's eye.
Are all possible awarenesses realised? If not, what was the probability of me? Vanishingly small? So what does that imply?
You seem to suggest that all possible awareness can exist: but all awarenesses can only exist under conditions where the universe is in its current state (one that could sustain human like awareness) and does not change to a state where it cannot sustain human class awareness.
If there is a Goldilocks temporal zone where human awareness can exist it is finite and so all the possible awarenesses cannot be realised.
Oops, got go, Hollyoaks is on.
